I have had an Aluminator from MAD Calls since they came out with it in 1996, had to replace it in 2003 becasue i wore the first one out. It has called in countless toms over the years. I cant tell you how many times a friend was using another call to get a shock gobble and we heard nothing, I would get out the Aluminator and sure enough a tom would answer it. Just last week I was calling in a bird for a friend with my Rohm Brothers Box call, the bird was working good and coming in but i wanted him a little more excited. I switched to the aluminator and he went from gobbling once or twice every minute to double and triple gobbling nonstop, we killed him five minutes later.

The bottom line is the that a good aluminum call matched with a hickory or maple striker will get more gobblers to answer you, especially with loud cutts and excited yelps.
